Player Profile Billy Halligan
William (Billy) Halligan was born in Athlone on 18 February 1886
Halligan's first club was Old St Mary's in Dublin and he also played for Cliftonville, Belfast Celtic and then Distillery, for whom he signed in 1908.
During the one season he spent with Distillery, he was selected to play for the Irish League against the Scottish League and it was this game that alerted Leeds City to his potential. In May 1909, the City manager successfully persuaded Halligan to sign for Leeds, along with his club colleague Tom Mulholland.
Halligan was given his Leeds City debut at centre-forward on the opening day of the 1909/10 season. He plated in the inside right position at inside-right at home to Lincoln scoring twice in a 5-0 victory.
He added goals in each of the following two games, though he had now switched to inside-forward and a brace at Birmingham on 2 October.
He earned a call up to the Irish squad for the international against England on 12 February 1910 after O'Hagan of Airdrie dropped out. Halligan turned down the opportunity, however, as he was needed by City for their game with Birmingham. It was to be his farewell appearance in Leeds colours, Halligan had scored 12 league goals from 24 appearances.
When Derby County made an offer of £400 for Halligan, it was too good a deal to turn down for a club that suffered chronic financial difficulties and the move was rapidly finalised.
He managed three goals in 14 appearances for the Rams in the 1910/11 season as Derby finished sixth in Division Two.
Halligan won the first of two Northern Ireland caps with Derby in the 1911/12 season, scoring in the 2-1 home defeat to Wales in Belfast on 28 January 1911.
He was not at the Baseball Ground very long; he moved to Wolves in June 1911 for £450 at the end of a season when he scored five times in eight appearances as County won the Second Division title. He had scored 8 league goals from 22 appearances in total for the Rams.
With the Molineux club, Halligan scored 19 goals in 35 matches in 1911/12, including three hat tricks. His goals helped the club to a fifth place finish in Division Two. He was given his second cap on 10 February, though the Irish lost 6-1 to England. In his second campaign with Wolves, Halligan managed 15 goals in 32 appearances.
In May 1913, he moved on again, to Hull City in a £600 transfer. In his two pre-war seasons with the Tigers, Halligan scored 28 goals in 65 matches.
During the war years, the Irishman guested for Manchester United, Chesterfield, Stockport and Rochdale. He appeared in two post-war victory internationals for the Irish, scoring in the 2-1 defeat against Scotland on 22 March 1919.
When official competition resumed in 1919, Halligan signed for First Division Preston He made his debut in a 4-0 defeat at Blackburn on 30 August 1919 but had a thin time at PNE with just two goals from 16 league appearances. His two goals came in consecutive 2-1 victories against Liverpool on 22 and 29 November. His last game for the Lilywhites came in a 4-1 defeat at Middlesbrough on 3 January 1920.
Halligan moved to Oldham, also of Division One, in January 1920. His time with the Latics was ended prematurely when he broke an ankle playing against Bradford on Christmas Day, 1920. He had scored 9 goals from 28 appearances.
In August 1921, he was sold to Nelson, newly elected to Division Three North, in a £75 deal. He scored their first goal of the season in a 2-1 defeat at Wigan Borough on 27 August 1921 and ended the campaign with six goals from 17 appearances.
He drifted into non-League football, signing for Boston in June 1922 and moving on to Wisbech Town in 1924. He retired in 1925 when he was 39 and died in 1950.
